Cleaning the New Home

In less than an hour, the temperature in the room rose significantly. Du Yue’s forehead and face were covered in sweat. She took out the thermometer and saw that it had reached 42 degrees.

Fortunately, she had hung up the blackout curtains before the sun completely rose. Now, as long as she pulled the curtains closed, she could block out the piercing sunlight.

Not only could they block out the glaring sunlight, but they could also prevent the people in the apartment building from seeing the inside of her house through the window.

Du Yue did not turn on the lights. Instead, she turned on her flashlight and scanned the room. She had just paid for two months’ worth of water and electricity with the instant noodles and canned food she brought. Now, the water and electricity in the room could be used normally.

Du Yue checked the room and made sure that there was no audio or surveillance equipment in the room. She then turned on the lights with relief.

Du Yue’s cautiousness was not without reason. At a time when she would not be able to protect herself if she was not careful, she could only be extremely vigilant to avoid her secret from being discovered.

As soon as the lights were turned on, the entire room was instantly illuminated, and everything in the room could be seen clearly.

Even after more than three hours of travel and several trips to move supplies upstairs and downstairs, Du Yue was still not sleepy at all. She was excited about successfully moving into the base.

Du Yue took out the insect repellent from her bag and sprayed it in every corner of the room, including the squatting toilet and the kitchen’s drainage.

The 81 square meter house had a kitchen, a bathroom, two bedrooms, and a living room. The two bedrooms faced south. The master bedroom was larger with a balcony, while the other room was smaller with only one window.

Du Yue chose the smaller room as her bedroom. The smaller the room, the less electricity she would consume when using the air-conditioning. The room would also cool down faster.

Du Yue came out of the bathroom with a basin of water and sprinkled it evenly on the concrete floor. Then, she used a broom to sweep away the dust and cement residue on the floor.

After that, she took out some easy-to-install floorboards from her interspace. She just had to put them together so that it would be more convenient to disassemble them when she moved. (f)reewe(b)novel

In addition to the simple wooden flooring, Du Yue’s space also had more high-end wooden floorboards and floor leather.

The bedroom was very small. Du Yue did not even spend an hour laying out the floor of the entire room.

After that, she used a cloth to wipe the dust off the floor. She then laid a dark, waterproof mat on the floor and placed a mattress on top of it. She took out a four-piece bedding set from her bag and arranged everything. The room finally looked like a home.

There were already electrical outlets installed in the room. Du Yue took out a five-meter-long plug from the storage space and plugged it into the electrical outlet. She then put ice cubes into the two air-conditioning fans and plugged them into the socket.

As soon as the air-conditioners were turned on, Du Yue, who was sweating all over, instantly cooled down. She felt much better.

Du Yue lay sprawled out on the bed and let her mind wander for a while. She only got up to go to the bathroom after her body temperature had dropped.

She took out a bathtub from the interspace and filled it with water. Du Yue sat inside and took a comfortable bath. After she was done, she put the bathtub back into the interspace.

The temperature in the room was too high. Du Yue was afraid that the bathwater would go bad and stink if it was left outside. Ever since the water limit was set, Du Yue would keep the bathwater in her interspace every time she finished bathing in case of an emergency.

Now that she had moved into the base, the water could come in handy. She could use the water to flush the toilet or mop the floor! She could probably save a lot on her water bill.

Although the water supply here was relatively abundant and Du Yue could afford it if she wanted to, she still felt that she should save as much money as possible. It was just like the old saying, ‘a man without foresight will be plagued with worries.’

As for the equipment and supplies in the living room, Du Yue put them all into her interspace. This unfinished house would definitely need simple decorations, but there was no hurry. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

When Du Yue returned to the bedroom, the thermometer that she had just hung on the wall showed that the temperature in the room had dropped to about 23 degrees.

Du Yue took out a bowl of wonton and a piece of pie from her interspace. She took a simple bite. Finally, she lay down on her small bed.

The window in the room was not big. The blackout curtains that Du Yue had brought were almost big enough to cover the entire wall. Not only did they cover the window, but they also covered the entire wall.

As soon as the curtains were drawn, the sunlight outside the room was immediately blocked out, and the room fell into darkness. There was no sound in the entire apartment. Du Yue just enjoyed the cool breeze from the air-conditioners and gradually fell asleep.
